Romans 14:7-8

• The computer has an electronic calendar. It keeps track of each minute, each hour, each day, each month, and each year.

• When you visit a web site the computer keeps track of your visit and adds it to the total number of people who have visited the site.

• The computer can even track your mistakes. When you type a word incorrectly the computer will underline the misspelled word.

As we read the Bible, in the Book of Romans, we learn an important thing about God; he does not keep track of our mistakes – our sins. The verse is this – “Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin” (4:8).

This means that people who trust that God will forgive the mistakes they have made are blessed – happy. The Bible tells us that when we ask to be forgiven – are sincere and sorry for the hurtful things we have done, our “sins are covered” (4:7) God puts our mistakes away. They are not counted and totaled. God does not keep track of our sins.
